WHAT ARE THE BASIC DETAILS OF THE THAILAND PROGRAM?

You will fly to Thailand to either Phuket or Bangkok (though there are other routes) and then fly to the island of Koh Samui where the program is held. You can find your own accommodation (or sign up for housing in advance) and attend classes Monday through Friday.  We provide a minimum of 2 focused hours of training each day (over 240 hours in 3 phases  to Total Warrior Members). Weekends are off for rest and adventure.

WHO IS RICK TEW?

Rick Tew has been teaching and running Martial Art programs for more than 20 years. Rick took over his first martial arts school at 17, started his first dojo at 19 and moved to Europe at 21 to teach his own system of martial arts - Rick Tew’s Martial Science.  But not only that...

• Rick has been the leader in this industry and other similar programs and camps you find on the Internet in his market, have simply copied and continue to copy his programs and teachings.
   
• Rick has taught people from all walks of life to take advantage of his proven strategies for enhancing ones mind, body and spirit. In fact, these strategies were so effective, Rick wrote a book on the subject and created an entirely new system for life-enhancment called Winjitsu - the mental martial art.

• Rick has run martial art schools, seminars, Ninja camps and live-in martial arts programs for the last 20 years.  He has  taught all over the world.

• Rick’s system of martial art is fun, effective and is the ultimate foundation for improving any martial artists skill in the martial arts.  It doesn't matter what system or background you have - his program will give you the edge you need and are looking for.

One of the most dangerous things you can do is to invest in a false instructor or wannabe Ninja camp.  An instructor who has money based intentions, and a few decent strategies and techniques...

... but has NO REAL Teaching Experience and has not been Teaching the Martial Arts for a LIVING in a way that Rick Tew has - that includes providing long-term-do-what-I-love to do adventures over and over again.

Rick Tew’s history as a martial arts instructor is an open book.  His skills are available on videos and Web Sites like www.NinjaGym.com,  photos are available showing Him training in countries all over the world.  Rick’s literature is all over the internet. 

... Rick Tew has real, concrete proof that He can not only teach you the skills required to improve your martial arts, but also to improve your LIFE with his help, regardless of your personal situation.

Almost every student has a story to share about how Rick has changed their life, thanks to the strategies he has packed into his "College of Martial Science" camps and courses.

Kevin Ogden Ogden (right) with Sensei Tew (left) “I have done more in the last 4 years with RTMS than I have my whole life previous! I was one of those students in school who always had a tough time getting through as well as getting good grades.  With some hard work and motivation to change my life for the better.... I made the commitment to make the Martial Science my way of life. If you put forth the dedication to help yourself, Sensei Rick Tew will put that much more energy into helping you get what you want!”

From Rick Tew:

“When I was a teenager I developed an interest in the martial arts.  But I was also interested in traveling, the outdoors and adventure (new experience's).  Although being a "typical" martial arts instructor, running a dojo was exciting, it was only part of my dream.

As I grew older and started to take students training at the beach, in the mountains and on every type of terrain from the grass to the gravel.  I also took students with me to rock climb, camp and to unique locations out of the city when I began to realize I wasn't the only one who enjoyed a more complete mind, body and spirit training concept.  I have since been doing this for over 20 years and have created a system that is not just a martial art - it truly is a way of life.

This is what led me to take my experience as a martial artist and combine them into a system that  included what makes life exciting and how to live a dream.  I decided not to just have a martial arts style, but instead - to have a life-style.  And now I teach others how to do the same.

Here's something else you should know about me...

I'm interested in working with people who are committed to success! So if you're serious about living a life that you are in charge of, then I want to work with you.

And that's why I've decided to put a very reasonable price on this program for those interested in martial arts, fitness or just a major life change. The cost of a program like this would easily run closer to 10 times this amount or more.” 

WHAT IS THE MARTIAL SCIENCE?

RTMS is not just another Martial Art, Rick Tew's Martial Science is geared towards the enhancement of Mind, Body and Spirit and it is a Life-Style. We focus on developing a strong character, self-esteem, life enhancing goals, self-confidence, self-discipline, physical conditioning and building knowledge through the martial arts experience.

Rick Tew's NinjaGym, Martial Arts Fitness Camp, College of Martial Science and Modern Ninjitsu is a combination of effective, useable, realistic martial arts principles that make it into its elite system. Because students are not expected to conform to an art, they can use a scientific approach to being their best. A typical martial art can be limited to its tradition, yet RTMS is focused more on the student rather than its master.  It is ever changing and it is not limited to the approach of having any labels, set kata's or "do as I do" training. The student is in charge of his/her training and Self-Powered.

WHERE IS THE MARTIAL ARTS CAMP?

Our programs are a College of Life and a Campus of the mind which is built through a variety of awesome experiences. 

NinjaGym / RTMS students may indeed train in one focused location or they may travel and train in the mountains one day and on on the beach the next. In a way, it is definitely about location - but more so: location, location, location.

The current long term martial arts fitness camp is located on the island of Koh Samui in Thailand and we offer a 10 day Summer program in California.

HOW ARE CLASSES TAUGHT? 

All students are taught by either Sensei Tew, Assistant instructor or higher ranked member of the program. Students will also be trained by course instructors that specialize in a unique topics (firearms, Muay Thai, Grappling etc.).

Students will get training that they need to focus on (based on their level) and master each week while testing for new levels each month. Most students are trained by the current instructor in regular class formats and then receive seminar instruction from Sensei Tew or advanced instructor on a weekly or biweekly basis, depending on your current skill level.

Assistant instructors and experienced students will lead many of the training lessons. Remember, self-power is required at all martial art and fitness camps - we do not hold your hand.

Students must expect a lot of hours training in order to level. So those that are serious about a career in the martial arts will still need to put in some of their own disciplined time mastering skills (very often on their own after class).

Note: that on Adventure programs, there is a lot of travel as opposed to the camp programs where training is the priority over travel and adventure.

WHERE DO I SLEEP?

Your program fee only covers training. However, if you would like housing (with air-conditioning, shower, toilet, and a small fridge) you may sign up for it in advance. Most likely you will arrange your own housing outside the camp. Prices in Thailand are very reasonable (less than $500 a month for a decent room with air, shower, fridge, internet etc.). Very often you can find a room on the beach for around this price and there are rooms as cheap as $200 a month.

Students of our long term live-in program that desire to train and practice what they have learned after a phase, have a choice to either stay in Thailand and train (at their own expense) or take a break / return home until the next training phase.

This will not be a Club Med vacation. You will be on a program designed for learning the martial arts and developing your personal attributes. You come to learn the Martial Science and or experience a unique adventure. So do not expect the same conditions and amenities that you have at home.

Flexibility is key.  We are strict with the rules and regulations. So make sure that you understand these rules prior to your attendance. We want to focus on teaching and training. Memorize the following:

IT IS THE WAY OF THE WARRIOR TO ANSWER BEFORE QUESTIONED.

The above statement means - don't wait for us to ask you to clean your hands, fix your belt or put away the mat. Just do it.

AND WHAT DO I EAT?

Students are responsible for their meals and can survive on cheap meals such as oatmeal (a very healthy staple for a fitness program), eggs, fruit, soup or rice based meals.  We suggest you also include supplements like NinjaGreens (www.NinjaGreens.com) and or other nutrients such as a multi-vitamin and whey protein to ensure you are getting everything you need.

The program we sell is for long term training.  However, we realize it can be difficult for serious students to attend a course if they have to also travel from another location or worry about getting some basic nutrients and a roof over their head.  This is one of the reasons we offer our long term program in Thailand where both housing and food can be found for very cheap.

Restaurants with a full menu offer reasonably priced Thai meals for as low as $2.00 U.S.

WHAT WILL I LEARN?

• Flexibility and breathing
• Physical fitness
• Food and diet
• Visualization and meditation
• Principles of combat
• Hand to hand combat

• Mental achievement strategies

To list or label the training you will be receiving is impossible if we are to keep from setting limitations on our ability. This guideline is simply a cloud that hangs over the world of Rick Tew's Martial Science / Ninjitsu.

We have 5 Levels to our System and each level contains 18 skills or lessons to be learned. If you signed up for Level 1 Certification, that will be your focus.  You can see the entire list of lessons per level by visiting www.NinjaGym.com

WHAT DOES THE CAMP / COLLEGE OF MARTIAL SCIENCE PROGRAM OFFER?

A new way of life - a dream and a chance to travel. The purpose of the program is to educate and train motivated individuals via the martial arts and adventure travel.

Our program is based on our concept of Mind, Body and Spirit. Rick Tew's Training Camp / College Martial Science / Ninjitsu is more of a personal discovery that teaches students martial arts / outdoor adventure and alternative methods for learning and self enhancement. This is done by an instructor that has been living the life for more than 20 years, unlike our competitors which offer instruction from beginners usually looking to simply cash in on the Ninja Camp market.  Our program and instruction simply can not be beat. 

We offer programs that will enable individuals to make use of their environment in order that they may focus on personal development.

"It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change."
-Charles Darwin

The programs are designed to give the student intense focus on training that embodies the essence of Mind, Body, Spirit and Martial Science training. 

NOTE: the schedule is determined by Master Instructor - Rick Tew and it is the students responsibility to adjust to any changes in programming.

Students will also reserve time for keeping the program in order and taking care of personal issues. All in all, the program is flexible enough to allow personal growth or relaxation and intense enough to offer a valuable training program.

WHAT IS SELF-POWERED TRAINING?

Focus at the Camp is based on self-powered training. This requires a massive amount of your own discipline and motivation. Although we are here to teach, it is up to you to wake up and get to the class. We will not hold your hand or constantly be telling you what to do. Your success in this program is up to you and only you. We provide the tools, guidance, motivation and we will be there to push you - but you need to be pushing too.

WHAT IS THE SELECTION CRITERIA?

We accept applicants as long as they meet the following requirements:

• At least 16 years of age (with permission).
• Have no health or physical handicaps that keep you from following the program.
• Have no obligations that keep you from following the program.
• You get along well with other people and don't have a temper or bad attitude.
• Self-motivated, hard working and self-disciplined.
• Are a non smoker (yes, we are serious) and interested in eating healthy.
• Have a desire to learn martial arts and live a lifestyle of adventure.

NOTE: We pride ourselves on offering training to build around your own strengths and weaknesses.  If you are physically handicap, and have your doctors permission - we will be more than happy to accept you onto our program. 

ARE FOREIGN STUDENTS ACCEPTED?

Yes, we accept students from all over the world.

It is important that when traveling that all foreign students simply get a tourist visa - or the regular visa they would get as if just traveling or vacationing. Since we operate programs phases under 3 months - you can manage to fit this program into your allowed visiting time of 60-90 days (with a tourist visa).

WHAT GEAR DO I NEED

Please note that as part of the training, you will want to have your own martial arts uniform, training gear and weapons. We have these uniform and weapon packages available on our NinjaGym Martial Art Supply Store below.

RTMS Training Package
RTMS Pro Weapons Package
RTMS Weapons Package

You can also order other gear (such as t-shirts, hats or equipment that can aid you in your training from the above site and adjust what you need accordingly). The minimum gear you need to train is a RTMS t-shirt and black martial art pants (typical heavyweight karate drawstring gi pants are great). If you are really serious about learning weapons, then it is important that you get your own gear in order to practice with. If you want to spar, you need your own gear.

We can have these shipped to an address in the States. It is recommended to order them at least 2 months before your departure date, so that the order
will arrive to you before you depart. Uniforms and t-shirts can be awaiting your arrival at your training camp if you give us at least 2 months notice prior to arrival.

In addition to the above gear for training, you should also ensure that you have the right gear for travel. 

CAN I BE REJECTED AFTER I ARRIVE?

Yes, if you fail to abide by the rules and regulations we reserve the right to cancel your program without refund. Once you sign up for the program we expect your 100% commitment. You will be rejected or removed from the program if you refuse to follow the rules. You must arrive with an empty cup and be prepared to work and train hard. Lazy people will soon find themselves in an uncomfortable boring situation. The Travel Programs are less strict.

This is the key element for any of Rick Tew's Training Camps. If you are negative, then you will only find struggle. Those that last are those that are the most adaptable to change. All of our programs are a challenge and you will leave much stronger than when you arrived.

THE STRONGER THE WIND THE STRONGER THE TREES

Rick Tew's NinjaGym / College Martial Science / Ninjitsu will test your patience and force you to meet face to face with your weaknesses. Learn to release and let go, focus on a positive mentality for the duration of your stay. A bad attitude can bring down the entire group and will be grounds for dismissal from the program. This includes behavior - mental or physical. You have a lot to gain from this program, so help us - help you.

WHAT IF I HAVE LITTLE EXPERIENCE IN THE MARTIAL ARTS?

We accept everyone. So martial arts experience is NOT required. However, it would help if you're an health conscious person and like the outdoors. As far as the martial arts is concerned, it is easier for us to train you if we don't have to break old habits. If you have a great attitude and get along well with others, then this program might be for you. Some members will join to focus simply to take part in the martial arts, lose weight or have an adventure. This is okay - the idea is that you are here to have fun, yet truly motivated to grow. 

NOTE: Our programs are not just for martial artists or people looking to teach the martial arts. It is for anyone who wants an adventure and wouldn't mind learning the martial arts at the same time.
